Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary advantages of the 2216 SOB ultra-narrow LED strip for integration into tight spaces?
The 2216 SOB ultra-narrow LED strip offers a 5mm width, enabling discreet integration into confined architectural details, furniture, or display cases. Its high LED density (348 LEDs/m) combined with SOB technology ensures dot-free illumination, providing a continuous line of light even in close proximity to diffusers or surfaces.
What is the maximum recommended run length for the 12V 2216 SOB ultra-narrow LED strip to avoid significant voltage drop?
For the 12V 2216 SOB ultra-narrow LED strip, the maximum recommended run length to maintain optimal brightness and color consistency typically depends on the specific power consumption per meter and wire gauge. DENO LED recommends consulting the product's technical datasheet or performing voltage drop calculations for precise project specifications to prevent degradation.
Can the 2216 SOB ultra-narrow LED strip be customized for specific project requirements, such as different lengths or IP ratings?
Yes, as an OEM/ODM manufacturer, DENO LED offers customization options for the 2216 SOB ultra-narrow LED strip. This includes specific cut lengths, varying IP ratings for environmental protection, and potential modifications to power or color temperature, subject to project volume and technical feasibility. Consult with DENO LED for specific customization inquiries.
What certifications does the 2216 SOB ultra-narrow LED strip hold, and what does this signify for quality and safety?
The 2216 SOB ultra-narrow LED strip holds CE, UL, and RoHS certifications. CE marking indicates conformity with European health, safety, and environmental protection standards. UL certification signifies compliance with North American safety standards, while RoHS restricts the use of hazardous substances, ensuring environmental responsibility and product safety.
Is this SOB strip light also called FOB, S-COB or COB Pro strip light?
Yes. Model 20973 belongs to the DENO SOB (Spot on Board) family, which the market also calls FOB strip light, S-COB strip light or COB Pro strip light. All three names describe the same dot-free chip-on-board LED strip construction, so you can quote it under whichever term your project specification uses.

SOB is the upgraded generation of the COB LED strip
Every SOB board on this page starts from the classic COB recipe — one continuous phosphor line, zero visible dots — and rebuilds it with individually encapsulated, gold-wire-bonded packages soldered on thick copper of up to 105 µm or thicker. The result keeps the COB look while DENO has verified builds up to 24W/m at 24V DC (25 °C ambient, aluminum profile), with a standard binning target of SDCM ≤3; CRI, run length and cut unit are model-specific. For shorter, lower-load or cost-sensitive lines the classic COB range remains a practical choice — compare exact models under equal conditions.
